Ive got 8 Toshiba Enterprise drives in two arrays and IIRC Ive had one failure. Unfortunate thing was my serial was marked. Like some sort of demo drive or something. No warranty. Ended up going throughthe original seller who thankfully understood I was expecting a 5 year warranty. They came through and got me another drive. I think my brother's has a Hitachi and My mother's a WD blue. Both have had no trouble.
